Butler Day of Giving 2026

The results are in, and it’s music to our ears! With over 25 gifts to the School of Music, we have officially unlocked an additional $5,000 in support. These funds will provide vital resources for our Opera Workshop productions, guest artist series, and the beloved Rejoice! holiday concert, while also helping our students travel to world-class festivals. A sincere thank you to our anonymous donor and to everyone who performed their part by giving today!

Thanks to our newest donors, we have successfully met the matching challenge, unlocking $20,000 for the Butler Fund for Student Scholarship. By making their first-ever gifts to various areas across campus, our new donors triggered a dollar-for-dollar match that doubles the impact for student financial aid. A special thank you to Deborah Fretz ’70 for her vision in welcoming new supporters and for her incredible investment in our students' success!

We did it Dawgs! Thanks to your generosity we were able to unlock $100,000 for student scholarships. Thank you to everyone for helping to fund this challenge.
